PRG Real Estate

It was an OK job from a $ standpoint, but certainly not the best. I knew people that worked for other property management companies that were making significantly more. 

I was working 40 hours a week, but because it was officially written down that my position was PT, I did not receive any benefits, like all the other FT people. Yet, I was scheduled and expected to work 40 hours a week!!  Can you say ILLEGAL!  

This company has a track record of hiring fresh from college 22 year olds and making them managers-in-training for about 6 months and then giving them their own property.  Residents complained bitterly about the high turnover in staff.

I think some properties slowly get renovated, but the one I worked at had stained, dirty carpets, ancient appliances, it was just nasty! I had more than one prospective tenant look at an apartment, look at me and say 'are you f***ing kidding me'! Requests from tenants for decent appliances, new carpets, etc were turned down due to 'not enough money in the budget'. Really PRG? If you cannot afford to take care of your business, then maybe you don't need to be in business!

The CEO came out at one point with potential investors and WOW, what a hateful person. When he left, everyone was shaking their heads in disgust.

I would not work for this business again if it was the last place on earth. Oh yeah, and the senior property manager liked to curse and scream at people all the time. Everyone was always on edge, terrified about their jobs. After 9 months of this toomfoolery, I gave my 2 week notice and never looked back.

I have loved working for PRG. While this industry can be really busy, almost everyone in management and corporate maintains an open-door policy and makes themselves available to you. The company has invested in my growth by offering lots of opportunities for training as well as allowing me to get outside certifications. Opportunities for promotion can vary due to limited openings that become available but the company finds other ways to reward you for your tenure and hard work. We have a generous paid time off policy and we have yearly performance appraisals in which you can receive a raise. I am fortunate to work with a fantastic team. Having a great manager really can have a big impact as when I worked with a different manager, I definitely didn't feel as connected to the company or the team. The company constantly solicits feedback from employees on policies and training and actually listens to the feedback. They are always improving and you are encouraged to be involved.

This company is not experienced. They hire right out of college and give them positions and advancements with no experience. The regional was not well rounded nor experienced to be in her position. I have worked in property management for over 8 years and have worked for a couple of different companies. This one has lots of room to improve on and hiring employees with prior experience is were they need to start. The pay is on the low end, they do not give enough money in budget to make improvements that are long over due to the properties, they do not follow the policy and procedures handbook they have created, they do not have professionalism in upper management, and the list goes on. I had many issues being a property manger bringing them to my regionals attention got me no were. I took things to HR and I things were still over looked. I would not recommend working for this company. They have a lot of turn over and do nothing to prevent it.

There are a few reviews that mention bad aspects of management, and I would agree for the most part. My direct supervisor is the overwhelming cause of much of the dissatisfaction and turnover at my location. Our site has very few members who last longer than 6 months. That one bad apple has a ripple effect over the entire property. However, I've been impressed with the personable qualities of many of the upper management/corporate staff. They have been approachable and fair when dealing with issues. Unfortunately, the regional management can't be everywhere all the time. Otherwise, the pay is decent and it appears advancement is a realistic opportunity for most. It's just unfortunate that the local experience is so negative and toxic at my property.

I started working for PRG in April of 2016 and have enjoyed every minute of it. There are great advancement opportunities, the pay is higher than most employers in the area, and the culture in my office is amazing. We have a team that functions like a family. We bicker like siblings but at the end of the day, each one of us knows that we would do anything for each other. The hardest part of my job is sometimes dealing with the unrealistic residents or dealing with reoccurring maintenance issues that are at no fault of the staff but instead due to the building's age. I've grown not only professionally from this position, but also personally. By far the most enjoyable part of my job is the relationships I have built with my co-workers, as well as, with a majority of my residents. I have zero plans to leave PRG, to the point, I told my husband he had to continue to choose his military orders for Norfolk so that I could stay.

You start off at $14 per hour and work Tuesday through Saturday. Commission is $80 per lease (after they move in). Not very many opportunities to move up and there is a very cliquey atmosphere. Innovative is shut down and the only way you can move up is to be the person who’s been there the longest. Typical pay raise each year is 3%. This company has a serious problem with too many people in charge and not enough workers. The health insurance is good but it’s really expensive. 

Working as an intern at PRG's corporate office has been a pleasure. All the staff have been so helpful, flexible, kind, and supportive. The typical day of work is a normal office job but it is made better by the people you work with. It is a small but close-knit office so everyone knows and has an personal relationship with each other. They currently are 3 days in office 2 days out of office which is great because you get the opportunity to see co workers while also being able to work from home two-days a week. Management is very involved with the workers and are always leave doors open so anyone can approach them. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working by myself was the best part of working at the company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having to work with other employees that were favored and being forced to dumb myself down to make the favorite look good!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was bug and rat Infested and the culture of the company was like high school (pecking order)

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
My typical day was just trying to get some type of direction or lead which PRG has a reputation of failing at!

I've been with the company for 8 years and have had the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. Leadership encourages innovation and genuinely values employee input, which has allowed me to take on new challenges and expand my skill set. The culture is fast-paced but supportive, and collaboration across departments is strong. I’ve been fortunate to work with smart, driven colleagues who care about doing great work. The company continues to evolve in positive ways, and I’m proud to be part of it.

Seems like a good company on the outside but it is extremely toxic on the inside. Approach with caution if you care about being respected, and expect to be micromanaged. Keep an eye out for how specific people treat others in the workplace and how they treat residents ... I feel sorry for everyone involved that has to put up with specific toxic people.
